- canceling sound N 1 is emitted from canceling sound source 52 based on the reference signal noise having less correlation with noise N 0 .
- canceling sound N 1 itself results in an abnormal sound inside the cabin.
- active noise control device 10 performs an abnormal sound suppression operation for suppressing such an abnormal sound.
- active noise control device 10 includes, as elements for the abnormal sound suppression operation, controller 20 , threshold controller 21 , and adjuster 22 .
- Controller 20 decreases the signal level of the canceling signal when the signal level of the reference signal inputted to reference signal input terminal 11 is lower than a threshold. This threshold is changed based on the signal level of the error signal by threshold controller 21 .
- the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased by multiplying the canceling signal by the level adjustment factor ⁇ (0 ⁇ 1) in adjuster 22 .
- FIG. 4 is the flow chart illustrating example 1 of the abnormal sound suppression operation of active noise control device 10 .

- the signal level described here means a broad signal level.
- the signal level includes a maximum of the absolute value of the signal level, an average of the absolute value of the signal level, and a root mean square (RMS) of the signal level.
- the cabin When the signal level of the error signal is higher than or equal to the predetermined level, the cabin is comparatively noisy. Even if canceling sound N 1 is emitted based on the reference signal noise having less correlation with noise N 0 , members inside the cabin would be less likely to perceive canceling sound N 1 as the abnormal sound. In other words, it would be less necessary that controller 20 decreases the signal level of the canceling signal.
- the signal level of the error signal is lower than the predetermined level, the cabin is quiet, and thus canceling sound N 1 would be more likely to be perceived as the abnormal sound. In other words, it would be more necessary that controller 20 decreases the signal level of the canceling signal.
- threshold controller 21 provides the first threshold to controller 20 (S 24 ) when determining that the signal level of the error signal is higher than or equal to the predetermined level (Yes at S 23 ), and provides the second threshold which is higher than the first threshold to controller 20 (S 25 ) when determining that the signal level of the error signal is lower than the predetermined level (No at S 23 ). In other words, threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold with increase in the signal level of the error signal.
- the threshold is decreased to prevent the signal level of the reference signal from frequently falling below the threshold.
- the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal (processing at step S 29 described below) is rarely activated by controller 20 .
- controller 20 detects the signal level of the reference signal inputted to reference signal input terminal 11 (S 26 ), and determines whether or not the detected signal level is lower than the threshold provided from threshold controller 21 (S 27 ).
- the threshold provided from threshold controller 21 is either one of the first threshold and the second threshold.
- Controller 20 performs no control when determining that the signal level of the reference signal is higher than or equal to the threshold (No at S 27 ). With this, the signal level of the canceling signal is maintained (S 28 ).
- the controller decreases the signal level of the canceling signal (S 29 ) when determining the signal level of the reference signal is lower than the threshold (Yes at S 27 ).
- controller 20 multiplies the canceling signal provided from adaptive filter unit 15 by the level adjustment factor ⁇ (0 ⁇ 1) by providing a control signal to adjuster 22 , for example. With this, the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased. In the decreasing, controller 20 may perform a fade-out process in which the level adjustment factor ⁇ reaches the target value from 1 over some time period. With this, a popping sound caused by sudden change in the signal level of the canceling signal can be prevented. This fade time period is at least 100 ms and at most 1000 ms, for example.
- adjuster 22 may be disposed between reference signal input terminal 11 and adaptive filter unit 15 on the path of an electrical signal.
- controller 20 may multiply the reference signal inputted to adaptive filter unit 15 by the level adjustment factor ⁇ by providing the control signal to adjuster 22 , to decrease the signal level of the canceling signal.
- adjuster 22 may be disposed between filter coefficient updater 17 and adaptive filter unit 15 on the path of the electrical signal.
- controller 20 may multiply the filter coefficient provided from filter coefficient updater 17 by the level adjustment factor ⁇ by providing the control signal to adjuster 22 , to decrease the signal level of the canceling signal.
- the threshold is controlled according to the signal level of a noise signal.
- the abnormal sound suppression operation of active noise control device 10 can be more effective than the conventional abnormal sound suppression operation in which the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased based on a comparison between a static threshold and the signal level of the reference signal.
- FIG. 4 shows an example in which the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased (hereinafter, also referred to as a signal-level decrease operation) while the canceling signal is normally provided.
- the restoring of the signal level (hereinafter, also referred to as a signal-level restoration operation) while providing the canceling signal with signal level decreased by the level adjustment factor ⁇ is also based on a comparison between the signal level of the reference signal and the threshold.
- the first threshold during the signal-level restoration operation may be the same value as the first threshold during the signal-level decrease operation, but may be higher than the first threshold during the signal-level decrease operation. In other words, the first threshold may have hysteresis. With this, it can be prevented that the signal level of the canceling signal (the level adjustment factor ⁇ ) is frequently changed.
- the second threshold during the signal-level restoration operation may be the same value as the second threshold during the signal-level decrease operation, but may be higher than the second threshold during the signal-level decrease operation. In other words, the second threshold may have hysteresis. With this, it can be prevented that the signal level of the canceling signal is frequently changed.
- controller 20 may perform a fade-in process in which the level adjustment factor ⁇ reaches 1 over some time period. With this, a popping sound caused by sudden change in the signal level of the canceling signal can be prevented.
- This fade time period is at least 100 ms and at most 1000 ms, for example.
- Threshold controller 21 may change the threshold based on information on car 50 obtained from car controller 55 via car information input terminal 19 , instead of the signal level of the error signal.
- FIG. 5 is the flow chart illustrating example 2 of the abnormal sound suppression operation of active noise control device 10 . It should be noted that in the following example 2, parts different from those of example 1 will be described in detail, and the same parts are not described here.
- threshold controller 21 obtains information indicating a speed of the car inputted to car information input terminal 19 (S 32 ) from car controller 55 , and determines whether or not the speed of car 50 is higher than or equal to a predetermined speed (S 33 ).
- threshold controller 21 provides the first threshold to controller 20 (S 24 ) when determining that the speed of car 50 is higher than or equal to the predetermined speed (Yes at S 33 ), and provides the second threshold which is higher than the first threshold to controller 20 (S 25 ) when determining that the speed of car 50 is lower than the predetermined speed (No at S 33 ).
- threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold with increase in the speed of car 50 .
- the threshold is decreased to prevent the signal level of the reference signal from frequently falling below the threshold.
- the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal is rarely activated by controller 20 . It should be noted that steps following step S 26 are the same as those of example 1.
- example 2 is controlled according to the speed of car 50 .
- example 2 is more effective than the conventional abnormal sound suppression operation in which the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased based on a comparison between a static threshold and the signal level of the reference signal.
- the information indicating the speed of car 50 is an example of information indicating a driving state of car 50 .
- Threshold controller 21 may change the threshold based on other information indicating the driving state of car 50 .
- threshold controller 21 may change the threshold based on information indicating a state of an engine of car 50 .
- threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold during rotation of the engine to less than a threshold during non-rotation of the engine. With this, when the engine is rotating and noise N 0 would be large, the threshold is decreased to prevent the signal level of the reference signal from frequently falling below the threshold. In other words, the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal is rarely activated by controller 20 .
- the information on car 50 is not limited to the information indicating the driving state of car 50 , and may be information indicating a state of equipment in car 50 .

Accordingly, large canceling sound N 1 is emitted when the signal level of canceling signal is restored. This causes the abnormal sound.
- controller 20 may cause filter coefficient updater 17 to stop updating of the coefficient of the adaptive filter.
- active noise control device 10 can prevent large canceling sound N 1 from being emitted when the signal level of the canceling sound is restored to its original signal level.
- storage 18 preferably stores a filter coefficient immediately before the stop of canceling sound N 1 , which is used when the signal level of the canceling sound is restored to its original signal level.

- FIG. 7 is a flow chart illustrating example 1 of an abnormal sound suppression operation of active noise control device 10 a.
- threshold controller 21 detects the signal level of the error signal inputted to error signal input terminal 13 (S 42 ), and determines whether or not the signal level of the error signal is higher than or equal to a predetermined level (S 43 ).
- threshold controller 21 provides the first threshold to controller 20 a (S 44 ) when determining that the signal level of the error signal is higher than or equal to the predetermined level (Yes at S 43 ), and provides the second threshold which is higher than the first threshold to controller 20 a (S 45 ) when determining that the signal level of the error signal is lower than the predetermined level (No at S 43 ). In other words, threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold with increase in the signal level of the error signal.
- the threshold is decreased to prevent the first parameter from frequently falling below the threshold.
- the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal (processing at step S 49 described below) is rarely activated by controller 20 a.

- the threshold provided from threshold controller 21 is either one of the first threshold and the second threshold.
- the first parameter is a parameter indicating a speed of car 50
- the first parameter higher than or equal to the threshold corresponds to the speed of car 50 higher than or equal to the threshold.
- controller 20 a performs no control when determining that the first parameter is higher than or equal to the threshold (No at S 47 ). With this, the signal level of the canceling signal is maintained (S 48 ).
- the controller decreases the signal level of the canceling signal (S 49 ) when determining the signal level of the first parameter is lower than the threshold (Yes at S 47 ).
- Specific example of the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal is the same as that of embodiment 1.
- the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased. This reduces the level of canceling sound N 1 , thereby suppressing the abnormal sound. Furthermore, the determination based on the information on car 50 at step S 47 is advantageous in that it is easier than the determination based on the signal level of the reference signal at step S 27 in embodiment 1.
- the threshold is controlled according to the signal level of a noise signal.
- the abnormal sound suppression operation of active noise control device 10 a can be more effective than the conventional abnormal sound suppression operation in which the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased based on a comparison between a static threshold and the signal level of the reference signal.
- example 1 in FIG. 7 shows the signal-level decrease operation, but the signal-level restoration operation of active noise control device 10 a is also performed based on a comparison between the first parameter and the threshold.
- controller 20 a when the signal level of the first parameter is higher than or equal to the threshold, controller 20 a provides a control signal for instructing adjuster 22 to change the level adjustment factor thereby stopping decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal. Accordingly, the signal level of the canceling signal is restored to its original signal level.
- the signal-level restoration operation of active noise control device 10 a is the same as the signal-level restoration operation described in embodiment 1, except performed based on a comparison between the first parameter and the threshold.

It should be noted that in the following example 2, parts different from those of example 1 of embodiment 2 will be described in detail, and the same parts are not described here.

- the second parameter is a parameter indicating a rotation speed of the engine of car 50 .
- the second parameter is different from the first parameter.
- Threshold controller 21 determines whether or not the second parameter is higher than or equal to a predetermined value (S 53 ). In other words, threshold controller 21 determines whether or not the rotation speed of the engine of car 50 is higher than or equal to the predetermined value.
- threshold controller 21 provides the first threshold to controller 20 a (S 44 ) when determining that the rotation speed of the engine of car 50 is higher than or equal to the predetermined value (Yes at S 53 ), and provides the second threshold which is higher than the first threshold to controller 20 a (S 45 ) when determining that the rotation speed of the engine of car 50 is lower than the predetermined value (No at S 53 ). In other words, threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold with increase in the rotation speed of the engine.

- the second parameter may be a parameter indicating the fan speed of the air conditioner in car 50 .
- threshold controller 21 decreases the threshold with increase in the fan speed of the air conditioner. With this, when the fan speed of the air conditioner is large and noise N 0 would be large, the threshold is decreased to prevent the first parameter from frequently falling below the threshold. In other words, the control for decreasing the signal level of the canceling signal is rarely activated by controller 20 a.
- controller 20 a can decrease the signal level of the canceling signal to stop the emission of canceling sound N 1 .
- the filter coefficient continues to be updated by filter coefficient updater 17 while forcing canceling sound N 1 to stop through controller 20 a, the coefficient becomes too large when the signal level of canceling sound is restored to its original signal level. Accordingly, large canceling sound N 1 is emitted when the signal level of canceling signal is restored. This causes the abnormal sound.
- controller 20 a may cause filter coefficient updates 17 to stop updating of the coefficient of the adaptive filter.
- active noise control device 10 a can prevent large canceling sound N 1 from being emitted when the signal level of the canceling sound is restored to its original signal level.
- storage 18 preferably stores a filter coefficient immediately before the stop of canceling sound N 1 , which is used when the signal level of the canceling sound is restored to its original signal level.

- active noise control device 10 b can make two determinations: the determination based on the signal level of the reference signal; and the determination based on the information on car 50 , to determine whether or not the signal level of the canceling signal is decreased.
- the signal level of canceling signal may be decreased when the requirement for at least one of the two determinations is satisfied, or when both requirements for the two determinations are satisfied.
